I have a vague memory of this being a story many years ago, where iPhone's were connecting automatically to the Disney resort WiFi and someone realized if you set your hotspot to use the same name all iPhones in the vicinity would auto connect. Can't find anything online any more though, does anyone remember anything similar?

Yes, there is a not very widely used API for this that allows apps to hook mobile hotspot logins and (I believe) also mark them for auto-connections. It worked horribly. Not sure if it’s still around.
